So rather than 2012 being 1.19F warmer than 1934, or 0.66C, using the original Hansen numbers up to 1998, and UAH figures since, it would appear that 1934 was 0.28C warmer. The adjustments made by GISS/NCDC have together added a warming trend of 0.94C, or 1.69F.

But I very much doubt if you will hear that from any official sources.

NOAA hides behind peer review, when in fact they aren’t even using the adjustments which they had reviewed. The published NOAA US temperatures bear no resemblance to reality. Bottom line is that NOAA is either completely incompetent or committing fraud – or both.
